I've got about 15 apple trees & peach trees and last summer I lost everything 
to squirrels who would eat about 1/2 a fruit & then drop it.  It is next to a 
woods, so they can jump onto the trees. I have a fence around the whole 
orchard, topped with an electric fence which I bait with peanut butter to 
keep deer out, and that works.  But the squirrels are driving me crazy.  Is 
there anything like plastic snakes, owls, etc I could put in the trees?  Or 
any other ideas?  Jerry in southern Indiana

Tree rats are a real problem for nut & fruit gowers.  There is no easy
answer.

Their life expectancy here isn't very long. Living in the country I'm able
to dispatch them to squirrel heaven with my trusty 22 rifle. Luring them
into traps is difficult when there is plenty of food available for them. There
is one trap that works and next spring attracting them should be easier with
less food available to them.

Check out Kania traps at WWW.kania.net.

Jerry,

I seem to remember seeing a recipe for squirrel bon bons. I think it was 
50/50 peanut butter and plaster aparis. They eat the bon bons and they don't 
return. Squirrel problem solved.

Good luck,
Little John

About a week ago my email spam filter sent to the junk folder a message from 
nafexmember at gmail.  Considering I'm no longer a member (sorry-- I never 
seemed to connect the new instructions with a check, envelop & stamp) I 
wonder if this is a true address or a spammer.

Or, if a legit address, how many spam folders did it go to.
